Great tutorial. I'm going to try this! I tried a 3-pepper drawing with red, yellow and orange and didn't like the way the yellow pepper turned out. Your color was nice and uniform. Thank you for the great information!
Wonderful I trying to find out if stonehenge would be able to handle markers and colored pencils at the same time. This video answered my question ahah
You totally could! You would obviously just want to make sure they were dry first. You could also do this technique with water soluble coloured pencils underneath instead of markers and then once dry. Do your detailing with coloured pencils. I prefer this method but either would work.
Hi. I am beginning artist. When creating art to sell is it necessary to use brands other than Crayola or generic brands from Michael's and Hobby Lobby in order to guarantee the piece will last?
Hi Sheryll! Thanks for your comment. I would strongly recommend that if you are selling artwork to someone to use brands that have high lightfast ratings. Michaels and Hobby Lobby both carry brands that have great lightfast ratings but also ones that don’t. The brands that are higher quality will usually list their ratings on the packaging somewhere so for example Prismacolor, Faber-Castell and Derwent are a few. These pencils will also be more expensive but it’s because the quality is higher and therefore they will have longer lasting pigments in them.
@@BarbSotiArt thanks so much! I have always enjoyed creating art especially for other people and now that I may need to go back to work I hope this can be something to create an income. It has been a great source of therapy for me lately.
Hi there! The markers I use are made with India ink and are highly lightfast so they should not fade. Using alcohol based markers like Coptic for example have a higher chance of fading. In this technique the markers are helping fill the white of the paper but ideally you are using a layer of coloured pencil over top of marker. I’m terms of preventing it you just need to make sure you are always using products that have high lightfast ratings
Perfection!!!
Very interesting. Beautiful art.
Thanks! I appreciate the comment :)

Amazing! Glad it helped :)
Can you also use water based markers?

Oh that’s wonderful! Art is definitely therapeutic and it’s an even better bonus if you can make an income from it. Good luck with your art journey! 🎉
Great but what when marker will fade? It will fade faster than coloured pencils. How to prevent it?

THe prisma wax bloom actually works great since bell peppers are so damn waxy.
